[Solved] Transmission 2.93 (3c5870d4f5) Problems

yaravawiba · August 4, 2018, 5:23pm

I tried to look for a transmission thread in here but couldn't find it. I'm having various problems with transmission. I installed transmission-daemon-openssl, transmission-web, and luci-app-transmission.

I cannot find transmission anywhere in the processes. This despite transmission being in the startup Initscripts section of luci and also happens even when I'm downloading something. So transmission is obviously running but luci has no record of it. What gives?
I'm trying to load an old configuration file and have updated the luci-app-transmission interface with the path to the config directory, however transmission-daemon it is not reading that config directory with the config file in it. When I load the transmission-daemon -d from CLI it gives default config settings.

Any help would be appreciated.

Please login to ssh and submit results of:

logread | grep transmission

&

ps

Thanks. After restart, logread | grep transmission shows nothing and ps does not show the transmission process being run at all. Before the restart, ps showed transmission being run from the correct config file, however the luci web interface processes was not showing transmission. Something is definitely wonky here.

I suspect your old config is not compatible

What if you run this:

transmission-daemon -g /etc/transmission -f --log-debug

Except "--log-debug" this command is the default of what shown on my machine

That works and shows in LuCI:

And all my files are resumed successfully as well. So I am convinced there is something wrong with the init.d script.

Hmm, question––how do I run transmission-daemon as the user transmission from the ssh root command line? I want to try that out to see if it's a permissions issue.

yaravawiba · August 9, 2018, 1:19pm

That fixed it! chown the transmission config folder to user transmission means transmission-daemon is running successfully on boot.

HOWEVER, I am still showing discrepancies between ps and the luci-app-processes. transmission does not show up in the web-ui process listing as running. Does anyone know why?
